He receives invitations from all corners of the world to speak and to consult – often many more than he could possibly accommodate. In the Spring 2010 semester he represented SDSU in Egypt on an NSF grant to collaborate on a project in Cairo, was awarded Honorary Membership in the Korean Powder Metallurgy Institute in Korea, and had a Chinese company pay for him to travel to and give a seminar in China. During the Fall semester he travelled to Florence, Italy to give a talk at an International Congress, to South Africa to lecture on sintering and witness sintering of diamond, and to the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador for a personal vacation. <a href="http://newscenter.sdsu.edu/engineering/images/germantravels.pdf" target="_blank" title="Associate Dean German Travels the Globe">Read
